Kamasi Washington - Full Performance (Live on KEXP) 

Sound engineers, your work does not go unappreciated.

"How did you start music?" "Basically, I was born one day." HOLYYYYYY

Kamasi is THE bridge between classic jazz purists and a new generation--hungry for innovative, original jazz.

I want Kamasi Washington to score all Movies for all time.

Oh my god this bass player. Incredibly well done. How am I just discovering this? Oh yeah I spend all my time listening to metal and not enough time with Jazz. That’s about to change.

Kamasi is definitely reintroducing Jazz to a new generation.

Organizer: "So what's the set list?" Kamasi: "Just one 40 minute song"

Literally almost every KEXP host seems like theyre on drugs hahahha

0:26 Re Run 15:27 Rhythm changes

Crazy performance. Not sure if this would be a likely collab, but if Kamasi ever did a live show with BADBADNOTGOOD that shit would be straight up bonkers.

I love the interview process during these sessions. It goes to show the majority of musicians are the shyest, softest spoken, most humble people alive. Even in their purest setting, they're no more than walking bags of anxiety like the rest of us. Yet again there is a Mac Demarco.

Love when you can tell a band ain't phoning it in, even for a radio station promo. Especially the keyboardist lol he's having a real blast! These guys are sick. I'm an old punk and jazz head and gotta say when i saw him play it was more lit than most punk shows i see nowadays. Surprisingly live crowd that night and they put on a hella ill show of course.

Saw them last night in Detroit & They Totally Slayed It!

Saw these guys last night in São Paulo, Brasil. It was something coming from another planet. I couldn't even process it, had to let it go and just get lost in the music. There's nothing better than that.

In fing credible! Amazing work by all in this group. So glad I find them through Andre 3000 feature! Amazing.

I can´t deal radio host´s face!!! Pure extasis. And Kamasi and the band, sooo good.

The dominance displayed by Miles Mosley is legendary....the guy is a rock in a sea of modern jazz currents flowing across the stage!

Outstanding!

Larry is so epically awkward on camera and I love it

The Heir to Coltrain and Parker. All praise and Glory King.

This is insanely beautiful. Kamasi is a gem!

It has reminded me of my great time in New Orleans...

Getting into Kamasi's music is like entering in a very, very dense space. It seems like every instrument creates a dense landscape by itself. Amazing performance and amazing songs.

This is the greatest thing I've ever seen

The rythm changes is one of the most beautiful song i've ever heard, there's a sence of pure magic on it. Thank you Kamasi, you guys are amazing. Words can not describe it

literally brought me to tears

Very nice. Thanks.

This would be freaking crazy to see live

Been a minute since hearing such raw great music......brings me back to days of Doug and Jean Carn on Revelation.

They all look like their having a blast except the bass player. He has this 1000 yard stare going on at the end there. Love these guys, the songs sound so different every time I hear them.

That's a 10. Loved these guys and I really like his respect for the other musicians. Some artists just remember to tell the other guys names in the end, like it was just an obligation.

Can't wait to see them in Saint Louis.

Blown away all over again.

YESSS!

I can't believe this music. Feeling elevated. Incredible.

I'm so excited to hear this whole set

went to play this in the background. It's impossible. Draws in all my attention. Mind... Blown!

Saw them in Newcastle last month. Blew me away!

Thank you KEXP. Really awesome and inspiring to see and hear such great musicians play.

It is like returning the jazz era. That's awesome !

Love it!

NEED MORE LIKE THIS.

Miss him At the hotel cafe and the piano bar. Brilliant

oh my god this is amazing!

Kiaora - thankyou

This guys are going hard on the instruments

This guy... the new King of Jazz as far as I'm concerned. Can't get enough of it!

Wonderful!

This is so amazing.

I went to his concert last week in São Paulo (Brasil). Amazing!!

I Love it... Thank You Very Much for the Venue and Artists.... Beautiful experience

so excited to see him this weekend in Austin

This is crazy good.

Kamasi Washington the father of a new genre on jazz signature. Taking it to another cosmic level.

wow...amazing group and compositions

This might be too heavy for y'all, but this is what greatness looks/sounds like

Phenomenal! I cried it so good.

I saw them play in Italy last summer. What a blast, gotta love Kamasi

saw these guys live this summer in Padua. Still having a good time...

Re Run is pure beauty!!

this sounds so much different than their album release party, especially the rhythm changes. i love both, this one a bit more though. that bass line just rips through and carries an atmosphere

Really dug the interview! Good job! Obviously the music is fantastic

What a moment!

Saw Kamasi Washington with vulfpeck and knower at red rocks 2015 ish? Great show

Every time I watch this gaggle of geniuses play I just lose it. Shredding to the absolute most magnificent degree. Incredible.

they are so good. just saw them in detroit. miles mosley super magical :0

Jesus christ I can't wait to see them perform.

I saw them this past weekend in Minneapolis. Holy smokes, they are great live!

Amazing music, wish the interview was as good.

Freaking awnsome! Great sax great composer and dreamer! Love Kamasi

great Kamasi!

I had this studio host's same shirt when I was 3 in the early 90s.. Good to see that style is eternal!

Superb musicians and engaging performance! Two thumbs up!

Wonderful performance. It stirs my imagination and lets my mind wander.

Oh god, Kamasi just save my life.

Excellent!

So dope!

There's two kinds of important artists: originators and consolidators. Originators invent something new. Consolidators take the new things of their era, combine them with one another and the tradition, and help define a new mainstream. Kamasi may not be an originator - everything he does has been done before - but he is one hell of a consolidator. Just for starters, he's infusing funk and hip-hop into mainstream and modal jazz, doing it in a way faithful to all of them, and doing it in a way that reaches people.

Its Amazing 🇧🇷 Que somzeira!!!

Obsessed!

Oh yeah! superb!

1:20 felt it in depths of my soul when that bass came in.

I jam THIS recording through my system. Love how the vocals are more pronounced, and the levels are all around great!

EPIC!!!

Kamasi Washington is a GOD-artist
